>From time to time, I'm having problems with SD cards! :) Music would suddenly stop playing, music folder is not available anymore and I can not properly dismount the card. I'm getting a message that SD card can not be ejected since some process is still accessing it. Then I have to eject the card by force and I get the message that I shouldn't do it. I insert it again, scan process is done (again), I try to enter the music folder but it disappears! Sometimes I have to do the it three or four times before I can listen to some music. Sometimes everything is fine. :) -- Kuja ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kuja's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77998 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
